My people too were scared with eerie sounds, A footstep, a low throbbing in the walls, A noise of falling weights that never fell, weird whispers, bells that rang without a hand, Door-handles turn'd when none was at the door, And bolted doors that open'd of themselves; And one betwixt the dark and light had seen Her, bending by the cradle of her babe.
Alfred TennysonThere is no field other than the weird in which I have any aptitude or inclination for fictional composition. Life has never interested me so much as the escape from life.
h. p. lovecraftBrasília is a weird place but I like being here. I can focus on the job here, there's no city madness and I don't need urban stimulation.
gilberto gilIn all museums throughout the world one may see plaster casts of footprints of weird animals, footprints preserved for posterity, not because the animals were particularly good of their sort, but because they had the luck to walkon the lava while it was cooling. There is just a faint hope that something of the same sort may happen to us.
Banjo (Andrew Barton) PatersonDon't look at me weird. I'm sandwich crazy.
bill allredI know Bono and he knows Ono, she knows Eno whose phone goes thus:"Brian's not home, he's at the North Pole, but if you'd like to leave a weird noise..."
nigel blackwellWe broke up mostly because we didn't have a manager and everyone was on different drugs. I don't take them so it was a bit weird for me.
ian brown"To be perfectly honest with you, ABC picks you to do this and then the machine goes into action and you shoot promos. But I'm still sitting in my bedroom at home going, 'Jeez, I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it.' And it's a weird situation to be in. And I guess we'll all find out.
jimmy kimmelI've had no demands, no weird requests for strange-colored water or cushions. She's exactly the same person I met two years ago.
leona lewisIt's weird. I always had the premonition that Sharon belonged to me just for a little while.
Roman PolanskiI see Macbeth as a young, open-faced warrior, who is gradually sucked into a whirpool of events because of his ambition. When he meets the weird sisters and hears their prophecy, he's like the man who hopes to win a million — a gamble for high stakes.
Roman PolanskiEveryone's entitled to their point of view but that's seriously a weird one.
kevin ruddWhen the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
hunter s. thompsonWe are supposedly a country at war, but we’re all going about watching American Idol and having not all that different a time than if we weren’t at war. I observe the weird juxtaposition of reading the newspaper and then tuning into American Idol and getting really upset when Constantine gets voted off and then wondering where my head was at. But in a way, that’s also the salvation of the country, our level of optimism.
Someone trying to live well would seem eccentrically abstemious in most of the US. That phenomenon is only going to become more pronounced. You can probably take it as a rule of thumb from now on that if people don't think you're weird, you're living badly.
paul grahamSometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read that book.
john greenThe weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture.
john green“Judge” Andrew Napolitano is at it again, legitimizing some of the worst people in American politics on his Fox News online show. This time around, he’s pimping for Ron Paul and racialist paleocon Lew Rockwell... [Ron Paul is] a kook with weird unworkable ideas about the economy (return to the gold standard? you've gotta be kidding) and unsavory racist connections.
charles foster johnsonPeople who say this cracker is literally and physically the body of their god and that I'm doing this great act of heresy and sacrilege and horror -- even though I didn't actually do anything to it -- is disturbing. It's like discovering there are witch doctors lurking in your community and they've been doing weird practices.
pz myersBy a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE out of TIME.
edgar allan poePeople that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.
dan quayleI know it's weird, but it does make it easier to write poetry in perl .
larry wallTcl tends to get ported to weird places like routers.
larry wallJohn I already answered this.. let us know what you're talking about, it's like loony. It's weird.. makes you look weird.
It's unique because it doesn't look like a comet with the typical tail; it looks like a cloud. It's not what you would normally see at all ... With the naked eye, it looks like a star or planet, but with binoculars it's really weird looking; it doesn't happen every day.
